​Connected Quarters

“Before the War, Caducia experienced a degree of Mind-based organization that “compartmentalized” the city into four distinct parts. Within each of the four parts, infinite variation could be found as long as it fell within the parameters of the pervading Part. This infinite variation allowed each member of the ancient civilization to perform certain actions and have certain experiences that set them apart as individuals. These personalized actions were based on the reason they chose to come into Caducia and animate a body, and would comprise the Caducian’s Life Purpose. ”-The Fall of Caducia

View the Diagram above. In each of us exists the Four Quadrants: Illuminator, Organizer, Entrepreneur (Adventurer), Caretaker. Depending on what we have come to this life to accomplish, what our talents and gifts are, what our approach to interacting with our reality is, ONE of these Quadrants tends to predominate, while the other three support. But predominate is not so accurate, because there is no hierarchy in this Internal City. This is one way we read the Quadrant System.

The second way is in using it as a map to balance our lives. In each of us is the full Quadrant System, and it functions best when the interaction of the Quadrants is balanced and on time. Attune to the Present. As you look upon the map, see what your intuition can tell you about how balanced you are. [Stay tuned for the release of more detailed guidance.]

Study the information carefully to see if you can derive your strength(s). The following descriptions should be of use. They have been taken from the novel’s Glossary, which can be found [here].

A note about placing yourself on this Map. This is an X-Y axis system. Lets say, for simplicity's sake, there are as many potential placements of you as there are pixels that compose the Map in its digital form. Each pixel is a potential place you could occupy. This means that we PAY ATTENTION to how close the pixel we choose to occupy is to any adjacent Quadrant. Furthermore, to move towards the intersection is to move towards a more general, less specialized Life Path, while to move towards the edge is to move towards greater and greater specialization.

If that's not complicated enough. We must also consider quantum non-locality and the intention of the mind/heart. You may find yourself out at the perimeter of the Organizer Quadrant in the dead center of the arc, but, simply by intention and persistent intentional attunement, you could gather information from the Antipode point - at the same arc location on the perimeter of the Caretaker Quadrant for this example - to the extent where it may become a sub-specialty. In other words, no matter how opposite you may even "technically" be to something else, you are not barred access from it. It just requires more work, and may or may not contribute to the momentum of your Life Path adventure. Finally, in some cases, any pair of Quadrants that only touches at the Center may also be thought of as complements to one another, possibly making talk of Antipodes irrelevant depending on the case.

Now you can really see the importance of the Present Moment. Only it will give you an accurate reading. The Map is just offering a kind of 2D/3D visual to something that can be said to operate at far more complex levels.

CaretakerIn Old Caducia, the Caretakers were those who kept things tidy, kept people (themselves included) fed with delicious, healthy food, provided comfort and rehabilitation services (hygiene, massage, etcetera), and generally just made sure both the City of Caducia and its Inhabitants were well maintained. Though such work has lost its prestige in the INCORPORATED world due to the HIERARCHICAL STRUCTURE, there are still some living in the PUPPETEER'S TIME who choose these sorts of professions and perform them with dignity and integrity. They are able to do so simply because they believe in the intrinsic value of this work and are not influenced by the illusory modifications made by the Hierarchical Structure and its Proponents.

EntrepreneurOccupations that dealt with meeting the material needs of OLD CADUCIA. Most importantly, they understood how to circulate material resources while limiting over-consumption. In this way, the Entrepreneurs were masters of taking what was needed from the Physical VACUUM without destroying any part of it. Moreover, because all CADUCIANS could speak the VIBRATIONAL LANGUAGE, regular, respectful communication was established between the Entrepreneurs and their Resource Entities (e.g. a forest) to assure that everyone was in agreement. It may be interesting to the INCORPORATED Caducian that no protest was ever expressed or felt by a single Resource Entity—were it cellular or crystalline in structure—because, due to this clear and open channel of communication (See VIBRATIONAL LANGUAGE), each of these beings knew that the Caducians needed their help just as much or more as they needed the help of any other entity for their own subsistence. Again, this was not by accident: the Entrepreneurs, with the aid of the ILLUMINATORS, who kept them clearly connected to the MIND, were master negotiators. Through their experience and intuition they learned the limits of what the Vacuum could give, and respected it unwaveringly.

IlluminatorBefore the Rise/Fall those with this Life Purpose performed the general task of helping the rest of the population maintain their connection with the MIND by teaching to the rest of the OLD CITY all relevant information for such a task. It is common for post-DIASPORA Caducians to associate this sort of occupational description with the modern day Employees of Religious Institutions. This is a terribly inaccurate analogy, for even though there may be some among the these organizations who possess a diluted version of the Illuminator’s original abilities, there are many employed in other occupations that most of the INCORPORATED World would never associate with this Life Purpose. Although in the PUPPETEER'S TIME they can be found in almost any imaginable career, in pre-Fall times they were typically only artists, gurus, monks, and priests. Unlike those post-Fall versions of these same careers, these did more than provide, for example, closed systems of mind control as the priests do, or mere entertainment, as do so many of your artists who have made it into the public eye. Each and every one of them was a true Illuminator who lived and breathed the art of the SACRED TRANSMISSION.

OrganizerIn a pre-Fall Caducia, the Organizers, whose home base Quadrant would come to be occupied by the Bones (FOUR MATERIALS), were experts at understanding Systems both Social and Physical. Therefore they are corporeal and social Custodians of sorts, whose purpose was not to manipulate systems but to understand them and facilitate their natural functioning. They were optimisers who, like the other Three, derived their knowledge directly from the MIND through the guidance of the ILLUMINATORS. (See chapter: “Ghost Files: Bone Caducia” in Volume One.)After the Fall, the Bone Caducians would demonstrate what happens when old CONTROL tendencies continue to express themselves after communication with the MIND has been replaced with the STATIC of FEAR-based behaviour.

Why is the Quadrant System important?Bard sees it as what he ultimately believes to be the cure for Dichotomous behavior in Caducia.IT came from such questions as:Why are people so often at odds with one another?Or, even better, how did this happen?Is it really just an inevitable flaw?Will Caducia be forever at war with itself simply because that is its nature?

The answer is a firm NO. Caducia exists in fractals. As ABOVE so BELOW. Within each Part the Whole is contained. In spite of the tendency towards Dichotomous behavior, there has also persisted throughout Caducia’s history the potential for Self-Realization.

Quadrant Balance is a System for Self-Realization. It begins with the individual's Internal Quadrant and expands out into their everyday existence. Their Self-Realized existence inspires that of others. As our best selves, we are able to connect with others and make amazing things happen in life.

Because beyond its apparent forms, Caducia is Infinite, the methods of Self-Realization have varied from culture to culture (Indeed! Caducia is a global or planetary culture composed of many apparently different cultures. Here again we see the fractal phenomenon.). Yes, the methods have varied, but the Goal has always been the same.

To put it in Quadrant terminology, those of us, throughout time, that have pursued Self-Realization have been doing one thing:Balancing our Quadrants while, through exploring them, discovering and honoring the Quadrant that is our predominant one.

In creating it the Quadrant System of Self-Realization, Brad is intending to bridge global culture by demonstrating that this system can fit into any cultural framework. In other words, he is reminding Caducia that it is all one people, and that this Oneness starts inside each of us.

By choosing to work with Bard, you delve deeper into knowing yourself. The deeper your connection with yourself, the more profoundly you will connect with others as it becomes clear to you that WE ARE ALL DOING THE SAME THING no matter how different we seem.

How was this System derived? In short, it was DISCOVERED. It occurred in a rather curious way. Bard, in developing the history of Caducia in his first novel, the Fall of Caducia, began to, for reasons beyond what he could know at the time (he is an intuitive Creator par excellence), see the ancient City in terms of Four Parts. Originally this was due, he thought, to a conflict which quartered the City based on different opinions as to how to resolve that Conflict (read the book to find out more!). However, as he continued to explore deeper into the origins of the Caducians, he realized that a System of Four had always defined their Structure. Each Quarter defined a necessary part of the Whole. From here it became clear to him that for this reason each Caducian was a necessary part of the whole, that their emergence into form, into existence on the surface of the planet was NO ACCIDENT. In other words, their Predominant Quadrant was determined by their Life Path, what they intended to accomplish during their time in Caducia.

To Bard, this is no mere fantasy. He hopes that his readers will see how they fit into the story as well!

Studies of Dissonance

Dissonance and the misdirection of energies as a basis of imbalance.

In Caducia Inc. - what we call the Societal Level - we see this misdirection energies on a societal scale.Look at the element of Control, which we define as "how the population ‘misuses’ the Oneness energy that shows the interconnectivity of all that inhabits our multi-dimensional Universe.”While imbalances can be found in each of this Global Society's Quadrants, the Entrepreneur Quadrant sheds light on a particular kind of Control as enacted by the Company as it tries to get a handle on the seemingly chaotic thoughts and actions of the people under its "care."

We start off by saying that Control by tiny minds that either are still slaves to the Dichotomy or who abuse their knowledge of its inner workings to manipulate the masses caught up in it is by and large a MISUSE of the ONENESS REALITY that connects all things.But it is by misinterpretation that misuse arises.And misinterpretation is inevitable if there are holes in Understanding. The internal imbalance of Those who enact Control in this capacity do not realize that there is a buried and smothered part of their awareness that is trying to feed them the white light of the accurate information regarding Oneness, but by the time it passes into their awareness, it has been filtered through the jumbled color scheme of their Dichotomous dis-eases and only faintly resembles its Purest Form (think of the game "Telephone."). Because it does come through from this wise and omniscient Source, it tends to carry with it the sense that a great truth has been accessed, and so it is handled with great sincerity. All good intentions aside, this sincerity is worthless if it is applied to this heavily corrupted version of the original message. In fact, it is distracting or derailing at best, and dangerous, if not deadly, at worst. This is exactly what has happened with Control on a societal level in Caducia Inc. [the worst of the worst being in a Dictatorship]. Now if this isn't bothersome enough, because of this feeling that one has accessed a great truth, the likelihood that the errors of Control will be promptly recognized and remedied is severely impaired the more it becomes taken as a given, as everlasting.

As long as it is believed that the word is the thing it describes, we will see little more than a jumble of squiggly symbols made intelligible by arbitrary arrangements.

***

The same goes for Control on the Individual Level (remember, Caducia exists in fractals). The Governor of one's own internal Caducia runs on the exact same Quadrant System. The Quadrant that we call the Organizer is personified as an integrated part of the inner terrain of any one individual person.An imbalance in the Organizer Quadrant is inevitably characterized by a tendency for over-control. In the Self-Mastered, where the Quadrants are balanced, there such corrupted control shows not a trace of a presence. Thus, self-control and trying to control the self are two different concepts. The former is a system derived from listening to what the Self requires. If the latter is based on any kind of listening, it has, just like in the example above regarding the corrupted understanding of Oneness, passed through some quantity of Static before reaching the Conscious Mind that it does not serve itself, but an idea of itself which has been shaped by this Static.
